BACKGROUND

In 1968, this Department developed a Transportation
Master Plan which indicated that there were pressing
highway needs totaling nearly $3 billion beyond
those projects which were being financed as part

of the National System of Interstate and Defense
Highways. Based on current construction costs,

the first priority highway needs alone totaled

more than $1.5 billion. It was estimated that

not more than one-third of this amount could be
financed from anticipated Federal and State
appropriations during the next 10 years. For

this reason, the Department recommended that

$1 billion in bond funds be provided to construct
at least the most pressing of the State's high-

way needs.

The Transportation Bond Issue approved last Novem-
ber provided $440 million in highway funds to
apply to this range of highway projects. While
this amount obviously is not sufficient to permit

the construction of all first priority projects,
it will permit the Department to move its full

range of highway projects forward at the fastest
possible rate for approximately the next 5 years.

The results of the Transportation Bond Issue can
already to seen in that the Department has pro-
grammed for 1969 the largest construction effort
in its history. If adequate financing for Inter-
state programs is provided from Federal sources,
the Department should be able to place under
contract more than $200 million in construction
projects. By way of comparison, the previous
record amount was less than $125 million.

This fact book will help explain the relative
position of the numerous projects now actively
being pursued by this Department. It should also
give some indication of the magnitude of the task
ahead as well as the progress that is being made
on this program.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

"PROJECTS BEING DESIGNED FOR CONSTRUCTION" listed

at the top of each Interstate Route and Intra-state
Freeway charts are those construction projects which
were in the Design stage as of January, 1969. The
projects are listed above the appropriate segment of
the bar graph. (The list of projects being designed
for construction changes almost daily as new ones
advance from the planning stage, and others move to
construction. )

Estimated costs to complete Interstate Routes and
Intra-state Freeways listed on the charts depend
upon availability of Federal funds.

Costs to complete Interstate Routes and Intra-state
Freeways listed on the charts include the cost of
upgrading and expanding certain sections now open to
traffic as a result of design changes and safety
improvements mandated by Congress.

COUNTY AID

The Legislature appropriates funds for this
program to aid counties in construction, re-
construction, maintenance, lighting, repair
and policing of roads and bridges. The money
is based on a population, road mileage and

area formula.

MUNICIPAL AID

Allotments are made from this fund based on
population, need and road mileage. It is to
be used for construction, maintenance, light-
ing, and purchaseof snow removal equipment.
In addition, funds are provided to each county
to be used by the municipalities for road and

bridge improvement projects only.
COUNTY & MUNICIPAL LIGHTING

Enables the state to participate with county
and municipal governments, in the cost of
maintenance of highway safety lighting along
state highways at intersections of county
and municipal roads, railroad crossings,

dangerous curves and headwalls.
STATE AID ROAD SYSTEM

Grants from this fund go to counties and
municipalities for construction, reconstruction
and improvements to roads and bridges selec-
ted for an integrated road network, which
supplements and complements the state high-
way system.

ROAD DAMAGE

Funds are provided annually for reconstruction
of county and municipal roads damaged by
vehicles weighing 40,000 pounds or more and
bearing ‘*Constructor’’ registration license
plates.

This Maine-to-Florida freeway crosses the George Washington Bridge into
New Jersey, follows the New Jersey Turnpike south to Metuchen, then turns
east to the South Plainfield area. The alignment then turns south through
Somerset and Mercer Counties and crosses the Delaware River into Pennsyl-
vania north of Trenton. The New Jersey portion will provide a direct bink
between the Philadelphia Metrolpolitan area and the Newark—New York area,
and relieve traffic pressure on Routes 206, 27, 1, and 130.

Hudson and Bergen Counties

Tonnelle Avenue is one of the most congested and
hazardous highways on the state highway system. This
freeway is proposed between the Pulaski Skyway and
Route U.S. 46, a distance of 8 miles, to relieve Tonnelle
Avenue of its thru traffic. The freeway has not been legis-

ROUTE 40

ROUTE 23

Sussex County

The existing land service road between Stockholm and the
New York state line at Port Jervis has substandard horizon-
tal curvature and very poor grades. These engineering features
coupled with residential and commercial development adj acent
to the right-of-way make it impractical to improve the exi sting
roadway. Therefore it is proposed to build a freeway parallel

The basic purpose of this freeway is to bypass Woodstown. At

There is a demonstrated need for a direct connection between the
westerly portals of the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels which, in
addition, would service the waterfront through the City of Hoboken.
Initial studies indicate the advisability of constructing a freeway.
However, it would cost $140,000,000 for alengthof3 miles. Additional
studies are contemplated to determine if a facility of a lesser level
of service would suffice. Freeway partially legislated.

INTRA-STATE FREEWAYS UNDER STUDY

FOOTHILLS FREEWAY

Warren and Sussex Counties

This proposed freeway will be constructed at the base of

the easterly slope of the Kittatinny Mountains between the
northern terminus of Route 31 Freeway at Buttzville and the
Route 23 freeway near the New York state line. By locating
the highway parallel to the longitudinal axis of the Delaware
Water Gap recreational area, easy access can be made to the
various recreation sites in New Jersey. The facility is 34
miles long and would cost an estimated $68,000,000. Freeway
has not been legislated.

ROUTE 208

Bergen, Passaic Counties

At present there are no state highways serving upper Pas-

saic County. The towns of Wanaque and Ringwood as well as
the recreational area of Greenwood Lake are most anxious

for improved access. Route location studies are now in progress.
This proposed freeway would extend from Oakland to the New

York state line for a distance of 10.5 miles. The cost would be
$26,000,000. No public hearing has been held.

ROUTE 206
Atlantic County

The Town of Hammonton is experiencing much difficulty with
Present traffic congestion because Route 54 (Bellevue Avenue)
is the town's main business street. This project would provide
a bypass of the business district and thereby eliminate delays
being encountered by through traffic, a high percentage of which
is trucks. This 4 mile project would cost $8,000,000. Freeway

has not been legislated.

ROUTE 322

Gloucester County

The construction of a new bridge across the Delaware
River between Bridgeport and Chester, Pa., will require
a freeway connecting the bridge with the major regional
highways such as Route U.S. 130, Interstate Route 295,
the N.J. Turnpike, and Routes 45 and 47. This freeway
will provide the necessary traffic collection and distribu-
tion, as well as improving service to the Atlantic City
urban area. The 23.3 mile route will cost an estimated
$35,000,000. Freewoy has not been legislated.

ROUTE 206

Sussex County

In conjunction with the dualization of the existing

Route 206 north and south, it is proposed to bypass

the Town of Newton. Without this project a capacity
restraint of such serious proportions will exist that

the value of dualizing Route 206 will be negated, and
traffic flow to the recreation areas will be drastically
hindered. In addition, the bypass is necessary for the
orderly expansion of Newton. This 6.9 miles project will
cost an estimated $10,500,000. Freeway has not been
legislated.

ROUTE 807

Essex, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic,
Somerset, Union Counties

This north-south artery is substantially a northern exten-
sion of Interstate Route 95 from its intercept with |-287
in South Plainfield. The highway will lie between |-287
and the Garden State Parkway, and will generally parallel
these facilities. The Parkway through Essex and Union
Counties has reached capacity and the need for an addi-
tional north-south freeway is becoming increasingly more
apparent. The 35.0 mile long route will cost an estimated

$150,000,000 and a corridor study is being made.
